Question

In what way poor people are excluded from the society
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Many of the approaches to poverty explored in other sections within ‘Definitions of poverty’ incorporate within them aspects of social exclusion. The definition of ‘overall poverty’ adopted by the United Nations talks of ‘social discrimination and exclusion’ and of ‘lack of participation in decision-making civil, social and cultural life’. Elements of social exclusion are an integral part of Townsend’s conception of poverty (see Deprivation and poverty), and the original Breadline Britain and subsequent PSE surveys (see Consensual method) incorporated aspects of social exclusion within the concept of necessities (such as ‘celebrations on special occasions’ or ‘a hobby or leisure activity’). However, poverty emphasises material as well as social deprivation, while social exclusion forefronts a person or a group’s ability to participate in social, economic, political and cultural life and their relationships with others. And while poverty has a profound effect on some, though not all, of these aspects of social exclusion, there are other important causal factors of social exclusion such as age, disability, ethnicity, gender and employment status.

THIS IS HOW EXCLUSION IF POVERTY OCCURS
